About

I have been passionate about the environment for as long as i can remember, and in this ever altering and changing world the need for protection of our natural resources has become ever more evident. It is my wish to join a field that aids in being a part of this movement to better protect our planet for future generations to come.

Goals and interests

Career goal

Environmental Scientist

Graduate school interests

I'm interested in searching for graduate schools in California and Europe with well known environmental science programs.

Outside the classroom

I practiced martial arts for seven years and am a black belt in kenpo karate. I am on my school's latin dance performance team where we perform at various cultural events and encourage others to learn more about latin heritage. I am apart of my school's Eco club where we inform students about local politicians and make them aware of their environmental policies and green affiliations along with forming cleanups. I am also associated with my school's novel writing group where we listen to guest speakers about getting their work published and critique each other's writing and give helpful criticism. I am also a self taught guitar player.
